I noticed the same style of mag wheel that I have on the commodore in a MotorSpares shop the other day. The name on them were FOX, so maybe you could get the same rims' here, except mine were named KOYO back in Aust..

These wheels have offset 38 instead of 48 what implications will this have.
Sorry I am quite ignorant when it comes to these things .

maybe this will help.................+ offset moves the wheel out.

so since the wheels I like are 1/2 inch wider but with 10 less offset
the tyre will be about 5mm further out than original position i.e 0,5 inch - 10 mm. will this cause a problem
The wheels are Stern ST-8

got to watch for things like bigger brakes not fitting behind the wheels,rubbing the arches if passengers and weight in boot etc etc especially if 19" wheels are fitted. believe some wheels also have been seen to rub on calipers. Ideally you want to take car to dealer who will let you try the wheels on the car before parting with money. I've just spent 2 weeks looking everywhere and eventually decided that importing from Oz is probably the best solution for what I wanted. Problem was I needed to replace tyres pdq for Donington so the wheels will have to wait a while until I get some wear out the new tyres.
